Safety first - The area where excessive water occurred is normally messy and hazardous. We could not overstate the importance of checking the eazironment well first. Disconnect the electrical equipment from the outlets to avoid shock injury.

Allow natural ventilation - Natural ventilation such as open windows and doors can prove to be better than artificial ones such as heaters or themostats. This is because using equipment used for drying out can damage the structure by causing too much heat or by causing an abrupt increase in temperature.

Document - Continue documenting the details of the affected area. This may provide additional evidence for your insurance claims.

Sanitize the area - The water which came from the river or even just from the outside contains sewage which brings with it bacteria. Stagnant water is a good habitat for molds and fungi. The molds quickly grow within 48 to 72 hours - another reason why you need immediate professional care.

Molds can cause health problems such as infection especially if you have open wounds. Disinfect the area using a solution of bleach or muriatic acid.

Tools & Equipment

Having the right tools is a must to effectively and efficiently solve water problems. It must be holistic, which includes the protective gear of the respondents and the tools for extraction, drying out, and disinfection of the area.

Here are some of those:

Protective attire - The most important components of the protective attire are the boots, gloves, and the respirator. The respirator is vital to keep you from ingesting particles that can harm you. We ensure the safety of our team when solving your water problems.

Hygrometers - We use this tool to assess the moisture saturation in the area. Assessing the situation first makes us efficient in solving your water problems.

Vacuums - Vacuum is one of the basic tools we use for extracting water. We have truck-mounted vacuums that can quickly remove massive volumes of water from your home or business premise.

Pumps - We use pumps to remove water faster and prevent secondary damage to your properties.

High-speed Fans - This is one of the most basic things you can do to dry the area. This will keep the air circulating, gradually drying out the place.

Dehumidifiers - We use dehumidifiers to dry deeply-entrenched moisture. This is extremely beneficial for drying out wooden parts. When using dehumidifier, the windows and doors of your house must be closed. This is to avoid the machine to fight the relative humidity of the outside atmosphere.
